“For me I thought graffiti was my life. Graffiti is my identity, graffiti is my family, graffiti is my tribe, hip hop is my language and this is who I am which is basically you saying that you’re an American, which is kind of true if you know what I mean, because that’s their culture. It was literally put on TV and we all copied.” –PHAT1 TMD SUK
